The small town of Ravenswood Bridge has a problem – a large, scaly, fire breathing problem. Once a year a huge green dragon named Valfalgar turns up and decides to fly around setting fires left, right and centre. This year however will be different; the prophet Garderobe has spoken, the monster will be no more and the good people will be saved for they have a champion, a chosen one, a hero… or at least, that’s how the plan was meant to go before Rispin Quill got involved.
